Linen and Event Rentals-Wow Your Guests

Wedding Advice

Gone are the days of using a venues white polyester linens and old plastic or metal chairs for your wedding reception. Weddings have come a long way over the years and the days of white polyester linens, awful tulle, big bows and plain white oversized poly chair covers are over. It would be impossible to set the stage for a beautiful wedding without the details. Thanks to Pretty Presentations Event Rentals right here in Meridian, brides do not have to travel to find speciality linens and fine event rentals.

What Rentals Do I Need, Anyway?

Every wedding is different and what you will need depends on what sort of ceremony and reception you have in mind. The larger the event, the more likely you’re going to need outside help. But even the most intimate of events can benefit from a rental supplier.

The items most frequently required for a wedding are; tables and chairs, linens, stemware, glassware and dishware, napkins and furniture.

Pretty Presentations has the largest selection of specialty linens in Mississippi, so you are sure to find what you are looking for. Some of the most popular specialty linens are the rosette, taffeta shimmer crush, pintuck, french ribbon, tuxedo satin, taffeta crinkle and so much more.

In addition to fine linens they carry luxury chairs, mid century modern furniture, lounge furniture, pipe and drape, fine china and much more. Their most popular luxury chair is the gold chivari pictured above, and I am so excited about the new mahogany chivari chairs that just arrived.

So, Where Do You Start?

Getting an idea of what rentals you will need is the first step. You will need a list from your caterer, florist and decorator on what all you will need to provide. Then the fun part is deciding on colors, patterns and styles. You should match your color and fabric textures to the personality of your wedding.

What Will It Cost?

Details such as linen, china and accessories make a huge statement and can make or break a room, but that doesn’t mean you have to blow your budget to acheive the effect. On average, linens and rentals account for about five to ten percent of your wedding budget.
